# Well vs Control

The clearest difference is rating: Well at 5.0 against Control's 4.5. Control's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks) and monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Well sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Control sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Well ships an update every 6 weeks, Control every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
